Why 5 Stars???
I loved playing this game as a child in the arcade. I've always purchased iterations of this game on any console I've owned over the years. Now it's on my IPhone and it doesn't disappoint. What I love the most is that Capcom made this version completely playable with one hand. There is auto fire as well as auto loop. All of the graphics and sounds are there just as I remember them! Also there are sensitivity options so you can tailor the fighters movement however you like it. The other thing they did right was putting the dedicated control area at the bottom so that your finger is never in the way of seeing fighters coming up from the bottom of the screen. Thank you Capcom for bringing back great memories and for doing it right! Thank you as well for the price.
